so that was my progress last night.



progress planned for sunday is pull and label the ls6 harness.

pull the coil pack brackets and valve covers so sand and have them powder coated.



im thinking i am going to do gloss black with chrome flake for the valve covers and just gloss back on the coil brackets.



while the covers are off i will inspect the valves, springs etc. for damage and possible upgrade. and may perform a leak down test just for my own self satisfaction.



also i ordered the lokar 48" stainless steel braided throttle cable. in black.



*still looking for a throttle body*



hopefully ordering the sikky kit in the morning



will keep the forums updated. with pictures and progress

Haha. I wish. then I would sponsor my own. However I will hook you guys up. Whatever my cost is plus a few bucks. Only if you guys were employees, because Im getting some great deals. I ordered Potenza 760 sports for the front 255/35R18 and Potenza s-04 rear 285/35R18 for $550 with tax.

But sorry, not trying to thread jack you..

ls1 corvette was mounted up top. ls1 camaro was mounted down low. Truck blocks too were mounted up top. Different layouts for for different chassis. But there are all interchangeable pretty much.

There are a lot of cam choices out there. Start trolling the dyno thread on ls1tech and see some setups you like. Texas speed, thunder racing, patrick g, all make great cams.

The one thing you will need to be mindful of is some of the variations have different belt offsets (distance the belt is from the block). I used a LS2 Corvette donor car and I've moved the alternator below to make room for the intake system. There are lots of kits for this and they can be somewhat cheap.

My engine came with one. Thanks though!

I'll keep looking for cams and possible a relocator kit for the alternator and will keep you guys posted.

I'll be disassembling a few parts of the engine saturday and Sunday and will post up a few pics.
